Trelawny travel guide
Where to stay
Silver Sands and Duncans hold Jamaica's most private beach villas — gated, staffed and 25 minutes east of Falmouth. Falmouth itself suits travellers who want the Georgian town, cruise-pier restaurants and the Luminous Lagoon on the doorstep. Rio Bueno and Braco sit on the St. Ann border, handy for Ocho Rios day trips.

Getting around
Fly into Sangster International (MBJ) — 35–45 minutes west along the highway. A rental car or pre-booked transfer is necessary: Trelawny's attractions run from the coast deep into Cockpit Country and ride-share is unreliable outside Falmouth.
Food & nightlife
Time'N Place for beachfront cocktails, Glistening Waters beside the lagoon boats, Peppa's for jerk in Falmouth, and cruise-day craft markets on Water Square. Evenings are villa dinners and lagoon swims.
